Gatekeeper of Myriad Worlds Chapter 241

Shen Ye went downstream along the underground river.

Twenty minutes later.

The river began to form a downward-flowing waterfall.

The water roared.

“Can you sense any life auras?” he asked Big Skeleton.

“No, there’s no life within hundreds of miles,” Big Skeleton replied.

Shen Ye went down and crouched on a protruding rock at the edge of the waterfall, looking down into the bottomless abyss.

—— He couldn’t see the bottom at all.

Where did Teacher Yang Yingzhen go?

But she’s a teacher, she should be stronger than us.

Forget it, since I can’t find her, I’ll prepare food for the students first.

With this thought, he opened the door and stepped over.

Nightmare World.

The secret passage of the Human camp.

Shen Ye waited quietly for a moment, then slipped out and walked along the path until he saw the flag with three short swords drawn on it.

That’s right, the tents here belonged to the Brotherhood.

“Can I come in?”

He asked at the door.

Immediately a male voice sounded:

“Peppa? Welcome, come in!”

Shen Ye walked in, and saw three assassins who had been sitting inside standing up excitedly, making the “I love you” gesture towards Shen Ye.

Shen Ye returned the “I love you too” gesture –

Actually, it was just shaking the “I love you” gesture up and down twice.

“What’s the situation now?”

Shen Ye asked.

“The incident of detaining the spy has had a great impact. There are rumors that the King is preparing to strip the Prince of his Imperial Royal Cavalry Leader Badge,” an assassin said.

“This medal is not important, but it’s a signal that the Prince has lost power,” another assassin said.

“Who was the spy caught by the Undead? Is there any reliable information?” Shen Ye asked again.

“It’s unclear, the Undead are tight-lipped about it.”

“The defenses of Eternal Night City are becoming more stringent. It’s not good for us to send more spies, otherwise, if they are discovered, it will only add fuel to the fire and make the situation even more severe.”

Shen Ye nodded and said:

“Don’t act rashly, I’ll handle the rest – but I need some food, enough for over a hundred people to eat for a few days, can you help prepare it?”

“No problem, we have a military food warehouse,” the oldest assassin said.

“What kind of food do you have?” Shen Ye asked.

“Pickled fish, sausages, and canned beef, and of course, sugar cubes and black tea.”

“No imperial packaging.”

“Understood, for concealment.” The assassin nodded knowingly.

“How soon can you get it to me?” Shen Ye asked.

“Very soon!”

Two assassins immediately left to handle this matter. After about seven or eight minutes, they returned with a small box in their hands.

This was a simple, portable space storage box, capable of holding items equivalent to a small warehouse.

With this, food for over a hundred students would no longer be a problem.

As for water—

Shen Ye knew that the Imperial army specifically brought several water mages who would cast spells to draw water and distribute water skins.

This was to prevent enemies from poisoning the water.

There was nothing they could do about water.

However, the students of Xirang High School were among the best from schools all over the world.

Getting some water wouldn’t be a difficult task for them.

Besides, there was also underground water in the great tomb, which could be drunk after purification.

The matter was settled.

“Don’t tell anyone I was here. Now I’m going to Eternal Night City to investigate,” Shen Ye said.

“Please be careful and take care of yourself,” the assassins said.

“Don’t worry,” Shen Ye waved his hand and left the tent.

He found a secluded spot, opened the door, and stepped back.

It was still the underground tomb.

Shen Ye took out a piece of cake, eating it and thinking.

“Big Skeleton, do you think we should return to hell now and collect all your mother’s remains?”

He asked for opinion.

The Great Skeleton spoke with a cautious tone:

“I hope you do this when you are in your best state, because once you start collecting, you must complete it within seven hours—this concerns my mother’s safety.”

Shen Ye nodded.

Hell…

Still have to go.

But he could do something else first, and wait until he was in top form before starting to search for the Underworld Lord’s remains.

Shen Ye stood up, his body lunged, and he jumped down the waterfall.

“Hey, we’re going deeper into the tomb, pay attention to safety.”

Big Skeleton anxiously reminded him.

That’s right.

Shen Ye didn’t argue, and while he was at it, he conjured some frost, transforming it into the Broad Cold Sword, and said:

“Come on, I’m a drop of water.”

“Finger Shadow” activated!

Plus the triple effect of Moonlight Divine Illumination.

Shen Ye spread his arms, flowing downward like the splashing water droplets in mid-air.

He flew like this for twenty minutes.

In the depths of darkness.

Several torches came into view.

Shen Ye looked intently, only to see the waterfall falling into a deep pool, dividing into several streams that wound outwards into creeks.

A team was resting by the creek.

They were the ones who lit the torches.

Shen Ye observed the group from afar.

—— Fifth-tier of the Dharma Realm, summoning spirits;

Sixth-tier, summoning divine beings;

Seventh-tier is almost unheard of in the world, perhaps only masters like Nine Aspects can be called seventh-tier.

But according to various intelligence reports, none of the top experts in the “Five Desires” world had entered the tomb.

They only sent their subordinates in.

— They must be cherishing their lives.

Perhaps the invasion of the world was not going smoothly, and they were needed to preside over the overall situation outside.

Anyway—

After witnessing the intense pressure from Nine Aspects, these people didn’t pose any danger at all.

Shen Ye thought for a moment, then moved closer to them.

At this point, being a single drop of water wouldn’t be quite appropriate.

There aren’t any water droplets constantly floating in mid-air.

“Come on, I’m a branch.”

Shen Ye said.

He slowly moved his feet, walking along the creek towards the torches—

Like a branch being carried forward by the current.

A few minutes later.

Shen Ye stood by the stream behind the group.

This was a team of over a dozen people.

Many of them were injured and were sitting around a campfire, taking a brief rest.

Shen Ye observed them closely for a while, and soon revealed a look of surprise.

Big Skeleton also sent a telepathic message:

“That bald man feels very familiar to me, he should be a necromancer.”

Necromancer!

That’s right.

Shen Ye looked at the bald man with grayish-white skin and gray eyes, feeling the familiar decaying death aura emanating from him, and confirmed this point.

When he first arrived in Eternal Night City, a necromancer had greeted him at the veteran’s guild.

“It seems we don’t have the profession of necromancer in our world.”

Shen Ye said thoughtfully.

“That’s right, I’ve been in your world for so long and haven’t seen a single necromancer—this profession should be unique to our Nightmare World,” Big Skeleton also said.

Both of them realized something at the same time.

Perhaps—

In the Nightmare World, the betrayers who sided with the “Five Desires” have already entered this world?

“Hard to say, let’s observe further.”

Shen Ye said.

Big Skeleton also seemed to start observing seriously.

The two watched for a while and gradually discovered more unusual things.

“No, look at that assassin, he used the hood of his cloak to conceal himself, but if you look closely, his ears are pointed.”

Big Skeleton said.

“That’s right, look at that man, he’s wearing a bathrobe from our world as a disguise, but inside is a knight’s armor—it has the violet emblem of the Human Empire, an emblem I’ve seen by the Prince’s side!” Shen Ye said.

They looked over the group.

—There’s no mistake; these people are from the Nightmare World!

At this moment, the bald necromancer stood up first and clapped his hands, saying:

“Alright, prepare to depart.”

A female professional also stood up and said coldly:

“We have found the Great Priest of the Wasteland, but it doesn’t know how to unlock the Seal of Fate, or even where the seal is located.”

“Under these circumstances, should we continue exploring?”

The necromancer looked at her, then at the others.

The others lowered their heads, remaining silent.

“That’s an order.”

The necromancer said.

“I know it’s an order—and I will obey it, but the Great Priest of the Wasteland has already escaped—it knows nothing about the Seal of Fate,” the female professional said.

“So we must go deeper to find information about the Seal of Fate,” the necromancer said.

“The deeper we go, the more dangerous it becomes. Just now, in order to deal with the Great Priest of the Wasteland, dozens of people died, and even we almost lost our lives,” the female professional said.

Shen Ye found it somewhat familiar and, after a moment’s recollection, remembered the meaning of “Great Priest of the Wasteland.”

—The Ancient Poison Corpse, the Great Priest of the Wasteland, and the Nine Nether Drought Demon.

The three of them spread false information, claiming they could unlock the Seal of Fate.

He encountered the Ancient Poison Corpse.

This group, on the other hand, went to find the Great Priest of the Wasteland.

He wondered if anyone else went to find that Ancient Poison Corpse after he left.

A trace of anger appeared in the female professional’s tone:

“Now we don’t even know the location of the Seal of Fate.”

“And we don’t know how to break it.”

“I refuse to go on.”

The necromancer strode over, grabbed her by the neck, and lifted her up.

“Do you want to die? I’ll grant your wish right now!”

He squeezed her neck hard and cast a spell—

Boom!

The female professional was blasted away by the spell, flying dozens of meters and landing by the stream.

She was still.

The professionals were silent.

Only the necromancer’s murderous voice rang out:

“Lord Tianluo’s personal command, even if we all die, we cannot disobey it.”

“Remember, it’s not easy to cross worlds to get here.”

“The number of surrendered masters in this world is also limited.”

“We must complete the Lord’s instructions.”

The necromancer emphasized:

“If you fail to complete it, the consequences are more terrifying than death—”

“Think about it carefully, all of you!”

When he said this, the professionals all seemed to recall something.

One by one, they stood up, preparing to depart.

The necromancer nodded in satisfaction.

“Depart!”

Under his leadership, the small team continued to move deeper into the great tomb.

Shen Ye stood still and waited for a while.

“Gone?” he asked.

“Hmm,” Big Skeleton said.

“So, what about this one? Dead?”

“Indeed dead.”

Shen Ye squatted down and pushed back the hood on the female professional’s head.

Brown long hair.

Dark purple skin.

Pointed ears.

—This was a Dark Elf.
